Clinton Foundation was free to accept foreign government donations while Hillary was Sec. of State per agreement with Obama-NY Times 4/30/2015 correction to 4/23/2015 article, "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundaiton Amid Russian Uranium Deal"...(To Rod Rosenstein: No conversation, just resign immediately. At minimum, forfeit your US taxpayer funded pension)

The first decision occurred in October 2010, when
the State Department and government agencies on the Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States unanimously approved the partial sale
of Canadian mining company Uranium One to the Russian nuclear giant
Rosatom, giving Moscow control of more than 20 percent of America’s
uranium supply....

Both men now play a key role in the current investigation into possible, but still unproven, collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s
campaign during the 2016 election cycle. McCabe is under congressional
and Justice Department inspector general investigation in connection
with money his wife’s Virginia state Senate campaign accepted in 2015
from now-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe at a time when McAuliffe was
reportedly under investigation by the FBI.

The connections to the current Russia case are many. The Mikerin
probe began in 2009 when Robert Mueller, now the special counsel in
charge of the Trump case, was still FBI director. And it ended in late
2015 under the direction of then-FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump
fired earlier this year....

Bringing down a major
Russian nuclear corruption scheme that had both compromised a sensitive
uranium transportation asset inside the U.S. and facilitated
international money laundering would seem a major feather in any law
enforcement agency’s cap.

But the Justice Department and FBI took
little credit in 2014 when Mikerin, the Russian financier and the
trucking firm executives were arrested and charged.

The only
public statement occurred a year later when the Justice Department put
out a little-noticed press release in August 2015, just days before
Labor Day. The release noted that the various defendants had reached plea deals.

By
that time, the criminal cases against Mikerin had been narrowedto a
single charge of money laundering for a scheme that officials admitted
stretched from 2004 to 2014. And though agents had evidence of criminal
wrongdoing they collected since at least 2009, federal prosecutors only
cited in the plea agreement a handful of transactions that occurred in
2011 and 2012, well after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States’s approval.

The final court case also made no
mention of any connection to the influence peddling conversations the
FBI undercover informant witnessed about the Russian nuclear officials
trying to ingratiate themselves with the Clintonseven though agents had
gathered documents showing the transmission of millions of dollarsfrom
Russia’s nuclear industry to an American entity that had provided
assistance to Bill Clinton’s foundation, sources confirmed to The Hill.

Ronald
Hosko, who served as the assistant FBI director in charge of criminal
cases when the investigation was underway, told The Hill he did not
recall ever being briefed about Mikerin’s case by the
counterintelligence side of the bureau despite the criminal charges that
were being lodged.

“I had no idea this case was being conducted,” a surprised Hosko said in an interview."...
